As Dick Durbin turns

The Trib's Editorial today on the dizzying twists of Sen Durbin on Sen Burris. Forget fairness to Roland. It's the people of Illinois this is about Sen Durbin.

Sen. Durbin, you were right the first time. Demand a special election to choose Illinois' junior senator. Allow Illinois voters to extricate ourselves from this ugly scandal with a dose of democracy. Fair to Burris? Be fair to your constituents.

No comments:

"Reform has a tendency to put all but the biggest temperaments in a cocksure intellectual attitude -and that attitude puts one terribly out of harmony with the great underlying life forces. The gods take their revenge on the cocksure.
